prinz
"Prinz" means "prince" in English.
Here, 'Prinz' refers directly to a male royal figure, commonly a son of a king or future heir to the throne.
Der Prinz trat auf den Balkon und winkte dem Volk zu.
The prince stepped onto the balcony and waved to the people.
In this case, 'Prinz' metaphorically describes someone behaving in a noble or charming manner, not necessarily a literal prince.
Er benahm sich wie ein Prinz, obwohl er niemals Adel war.
He behaved like a prince, although he was never of noble birth.
'Prinz' here is used in a traditional fairy tale context, representing a heroic or central male figure often found in stories.
